Valley Emperor

Since the Imperial Economic Conference in the winter of the 40th year of Xuanping, the entire Datang Empire has been in a state of excitement.

For the upper echelons of the empire, the economic development plan passed in the economic conference is on the surface to develop the economy, but in fact the main purpose is to balance the conflict of interests between the local and overseas territories. If it goes deeper, it is for its global economy. Integrated paving.

Economic integration is an important measure determined by the high-level officials of the Datang Empire to resolve conflicts between the local and overseas territories and avoid division.

Although no public announcement was made, in fact, the Tang Empire had already begun to do so.

The economic development plan is the product of the framework of economic integration, in order to completely bind the domestic and overseas territories together.

Under this big framework, the economic development plan also has a huge variety of plans.

Especially after the relaxation of restrictions on railways and port facilities, the entire Datang Empire was boiling.

Because everyone sees countless business opportunities from it.

Whether it is the steel industry, coal and other industries or other industries, they can all find their own opportunities from this huge economic development plan.

Taking advantage of the heat, Datang Railway Corporation officially announced the establishment of several major railway branches.

Including the Inter-American Railway Company, the Indian Railway Company, the South African Railway Company, and the Red Sea Railway Company, there are five railway branches in the overseas territories.

The railway companies in the above five overseas territories will build railways in the overseas territories according to the actual needs and economic conditions of each region.

For the money needed to build a railway, most railway plans will also take the example of purely commercial development.

We are going to follow the precedents of many domestic railways in the past, especially the precedent of Jiangnan Railway Company. We will issue railway construction bonds to the public to raise funds for the construction of major railways.

First of all, the American Railway Company was the first to announce the railway construction plan in the Americas. The core plan is to build a railway across the east and west continents of North America.

Starting from Xinjinshan and focusing on Xinnangang, it spans the entire American continent!

This road plan instantly detonated the heat of the capital market!

Because everyone knows the resource style of the Americas, the agricultural development potential is huge, and the mineral resources are even more abundant. In the past, limited by the localization policy, it could not be effectively developed at all, and only the most basic agricultural development could be carried out.

But now, the empire has issued a series of economic development plans, preparing to develop large-scale mechanized agriculture in the Americas, and preparing to mine a large number of mineral resources.

The policy is already there.

As for the market!

I didn't see the Tang Dynasty newspaper saying that the food index should be lowered from the current 50% to 40%!

In order to reduce this ratio and effectively improve the living standards of the people, how can we do without a plentiful supply of various crops!

The local agricultural development is relatively complete. Even if the development of Northeast Central Asia and other regions can continue in the future, considering the rapid growth of the population of the empire each year, the newly increased local food can maintain the existing per capita food consumption level. Yes, as for the improvement, we can only rely on the supply from overseas regions.

And the continent area is the imperial granary appointed by the high-level empire!

There will never be a shortage of grain in the market. With the contemporary level of grain production, no matter how much grain is produced, it can be consumed locally.

In the Americas, there is a large supply of food and meat and other products, and after the policy, many see opportunities.

The largest meat supplier in Songjiang Prefecture, Qingpu Meat Company, suddenly issued an announcement in the last few days of the 40-year low.

Announced that the company will establish a global meat supply system to purchase meat from all over the world and supply it locally.

At first glance, it makes people feel very strange, because it is not nonsense to purchase meat from all over the world. It is difficult to insure meat. It is 100% finished after long-distance sea transportation, unless it is directly transporting live animals back, but Long sea journeys also result in a large number of livestock deaths.

The only shipping methods available are cured meats or sealed cans, but the former doesn't taste as good, while the latter is very expensive.

More importantly, in the announcement issued by Qingpu Meat Company, the investment in preparing for the establishment of a global supply system will reach more than 300,000 Tang Yuan.

What system needs an investment of 300,000 Tang Yuan?

Even if you build a super-large-scale farm in the Americas, you don't need so much investment.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that most of the expected investment will be used to build two large-tonnage frozen meat transport ships?

Refrigerated transport ship?

That's right, this is what Qingpu Meat Company needs to announce for this announcement.

Although Qingpu Meat Company plans to build farms in South America and North America at the same time, these investments are not much to be honest, and Qingpu Meat Company has never planned to raise cattle and pigs by itself, which is not in line with their professionalism.

Their investments are in slaughterhouses and transportation channels.

Refrigerated ships are at the heart of that.

This thing is a product of Hong Kong Dingsheng Shipyard. To be honest, people did not consider the application in the field of civilian ships at the beginning. Dingsheng Shipyard dared to start tossing refrigerated transport ships purely to meet the needs of the military's logistics transportation.

The military's food requirements are quite high. In order to ensure the supply of meat for front-line troops, especially those deployed overseas, the logistics departments of the Army and Navy have tried everything possible.

In the earliest days, there was no way to do it, and I could only make some bacon or something. Later, I started to make bacon. I have to say that in order to keep it for a longer time, the taste of this bacon is not ordinary... ...the kind that can make ordinary people vomit directly when boiled and smelled...

Later, they made sealed cans, but the cost of cans was actually very high, and even so, it was difficult for the front-line soldiers to eat fresh meat.

In this regard, the military's solution is to bring a large number of live cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, especially the army troops stationed in Central Asia. When there is any action on weekdays, they are all marching with a group of cattle and sheep...

In order to solve the problem of fresh meat supply for front-line troops, and people also found that frozen meat can keep fresh, so the Navy asked Dingsheng Shipyard to build a frozen ship to try.

The refrigeration equipment among them was made by the Royal Institute of Technology.

Not to mention, after the Academic Affairs Office of the Royal Institute of Technology learned about the military's request, they looked through their huge research project~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and found that there really was a mechanical refrigeration project in their college. It was a kind of mechanical refrigeration project. The vapor compression refrigeration system uses ether as the refrigeration medium, but it is not yet mature and has not been commercially available for the time being.

Immediately, the military invested some money, built a prototype, and put it on the ship, creating the first freezer ship in human history.

Qingpu Meat Company's sense of smell is quite sensitive. The Navy's frozen supply ship has just started construction, and it has not yet been built. Qingpu Meat Company just came to the door and ordered two frozen transport ships!

According to the announcement of Qingpu Meat Company, the refrigerated transport ship ordered can transport 5,000 tons of meat products in a single trip, and it runs very fast. If it starts from Xinjinshan, it can arrive at Shanghai Port in a month.

And from Haidong Province in the central Asian region of the empire, to transport live livestock back to Shanghai by rail, it takes more than a month to stop and go, and the freight is even more expensive...

This means that from now on, the overseas territories can vigorously develop animal husbandry and supply large quantities of meat products to the country through refrigerated transportation.

It also means that in the future, beef from the Americas will appear on the dining table of ordinary Datang natives!
